SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PBteen,
a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM) portfolio of brands,
announced today an exclusive collaboration with Zio Ziegler, an
internationally recognized artist known for his bold, over-sized
graffiti-style murals in major cities around the world. The Zio Ziegler
for PBteen collection takes the best of his signature street style and
fine art background and re-imagines it for home furnishings, décor and
gear. PBteen will launch the Zio Ziegler collection on www.pbteen.com
today, and in catalogs and stores
nationwide on June 6, 2014.

The Zio
Ziegler for PBteen collection consists of 32 products that reflect
his bold graphic signature and affinity for urban edge. Ziegler’s
artistic philosophy and passion to make art accessible are translated
into a collection of bedding, rugs, wall décor, decorative accessories
and gear in colors and pattern that make a room pop with personality.

“I think art needs to be accessible in every way, in a variety of
different forms,” said artist Zio Ziegler. “Not everyone can afford to
invest in art, yet this PBteen collection allows many more people to
gain access to my work.”

“Collaborating with a talented artist like Zio has been a great
experience for PBteen and has allowed us to explore bold new aesthetics
that I’m certain will resonate with our customers,” said Sandra Stangl,
President, Pottery Barn Brands. “There’s a striking and profound
attraction to the work he creates in his large-scale murals and street
art installations that we are proud to represent in the Zio Ziegler for
PBteen collection.”

Standout pieces in the Zio Ziegler for PBteen collection include an
Iconic Duvet Cover and Pillow Sham emblazoned with a striking black and
white tiger that pops against a sea of cool blue cotton. The Skull and
Flower Backpack is a playful yet edgy take on classic gear featuring
stylish lines, bold colors and mixed patterns for a truly art-centric
style.

The Zio Ziegler for PBteen Collection ranges from $30.00 to $600.00 and
can be found today at PBteen.com/ZioZiegler.

Ziegler is an emerging contemporary artist whose work has been featured
in solo and group exhibitions in North America and Europe. In addition
to paintings, he has also been recognized for his outdoor
installation-based murals which are typically monochromatic with a
distinct tribal-like aesthetic. For Zio Ziegler, painting is an attempt
at self-understanding. He creates an experience for the viewer that
parallels his own search in creation. Ziegler’s work is focused on
movement and self-reflection, influenced by a multitude of styles,
including classicism, cubism, futurism and primitivism. Ziegler studied
at Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where
he graduated in 2010 with a B.A. in painting. Ziegler is also the
founder of clothing and lifestyle brand Arte Sempre, and is currently
based in the San Francisco Bay Area but travels the world in pursuit of
his art.
